********* Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm so sorry, Bethany -- I had a feeling that the info from your mom wasn't going to be good news. :( Is there any chance that different doctors at a different hospital might have some new ideas to help your father? My mom refuses to transfer him because she works at the hospital he's at right now. I tried to gently talk to her about it; she's not at ALL open to the idea. My older sister did not take the news well. Apparently she yelled at my mom. :( Then she apologized. ARDS is Acute Respitory Distress Syndrome. Basically, his lungs don't work anymore. He's getting a traecheotomy tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to talk to mom about setting up the meeting for either Monday or Tuesday. Mom's not good. Honestly, neither am I. Plus, I apparently lost my wallet at the grocery store yesterday. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 :grouphug: My dad developed ARDS after complications from open heart surgery. I know exactly what you are going through! It was a long rough road, but he pulled through and was gifted with another 10 years. I will pray for your Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
